Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: What's next for mainframes and AI?
Đang tạo bài học...
1
A trillion web transactions daily.
2
More than 300 billion inference requests in a single day.
3
A million plus transactions in a second.
4
The modern mainframe can handle all that and more with ease.
5
Welcome to AI Academy.
6
I'm Lou Folia, a writer and journalist.
7
And I'm here with Christian Jacoby, IBM Fellow and CTL of Systems Development at IBM.
8
On average, Visa processes around 8 ,500 global transactions every second.
9
A mainframe which can handle one million transactions per second would be able to process more than 100 times Visa's volume.
10
So, Christian, to you, what makes the mainframe remarkable?
11
And what makes them key to AI's next big breakthrough?
12
Is it the hardware?
13
Is it the software?
14
Is it somewhere in between?
15
It's really the hardware and the software together.
16
When we design the next generation of the mainframe, we're enhancing the performance, the scalability, availability features.
17
But we're doing this in conjunction as a hardware team.
18
We're working closely with the firmware team and software team to make sure
19
that we end up with a stack optimized end -to -end solution that clients can use to run their workloads.
20
IBM has been thinking about AI on mainframes for a long time now, right?
21
This isn't something we've recently come to.
22
Ten years at least.
23
And the IBM Telum processor includes an on -chip AI accelerator.
24
Why is that important, having the accelerator on chip?
25
And how does it enhance AI performance?
26
Yeah, as you're running workloads on the processor, of course, a lot of the data resides within the chip.
27
And within the chip, we can communicate between different components of the chip, literally in nanoseconds, right?
28
Nanoseconds is a tiny sliver of time, of course.
29
Versus if you go off -chip and go to a separate card, you're talking microseconds.
30
And if you go to a different system, you might be talking milliseconds, right?
31
And so by putting AI acceleration directly onto the processor chip, we could achieve the lowest possible latency for some of those traditional models.
32
And then now with the Spire acceleration card that goes into the IO subsystem,
33
we can run generative AI also with very low latency without needing to cross system boundaries and go into a separate system.
34
It matters how big that slice of the second is.
35
It matters big time.
36
Absolutely.
37
When you're running millions of transactions every second
38
and the latency requirements from a business perspective is that transactions need to finish within a handful of milliseconds,
39
then you really don't want to waste milliseconds and traveling the data between here and some other system for AI inferencing.
40
Let's drill in on that a little bit.
41
So what makes mainframes so pivotal for AI?
42
Their hardware capabilities, their software capabilities, What is it that sort of makes it perfectly suited for AI?
43
Yeah, so clients are running mission -critical central workloads for their corporations.
44
They run the central ledger of a bank or they run insurance claims processing on mainframes.
45
That's where a lot of the data resides.
46
That's where the transactions get processed.
47
And of course, you can use AI to increase the sort of business value
48
of each transaction by checking for fraud on an insurance claim
49
or on a banking transaction and being able to integrate that directly into the workload, detect fraud, for example,
50
in the instant of time where the transaction is getting processed is of huge value to clients compared to,
51
for example, doing it in a cloud a few minutes or an hour after the transaction has already completed.
52
By doing it directly in the mainframe box itself, you cut out all that latency and that's how you get to the milliseconds of latency for, for example, fraud detection.
53
You already have all the data, all the transaction processing happening in the mainframe system by doing the AI directly in the processor for traditional models
54
or in the I .O subsystem on a Spire accelerator for generative models.
55
You can maintain low latency, get the good throughput and performance that the mainframe is known for,
56
but also preserve the security capabilities by not needing to send the data to a separate system.
57
When you're sending the data out into the world, it's slowing things down and it's creating security risk.
58
Correct.
59
Exactly.
60
You're sending it somewhere else that inherently takes time and you're moving the data out of the highly secure mainframe environment.
61
So now it gets exposed to different attack surfaces that hackers could exploit.
62
What should organizations consider when choosing AI -ready infrastructure?
63
And how do mainframes address those needs better than other platforms?
64
When clients embark on AI journeys in the context of the mission -critical workloads, We often talk to them about the readiness of the data,
65
the readiness of the models.
66
Do they have the capabilities in the data science departments to kind of train their own data into the models
67
that they will be using?
68
And then also look at, you know, what latency requirements do you have?
69
What throughput requirements?
70
How many inferences per second do you need to run in that workload?
71
And by working with clients through those considerations early on,
72
we can make sure that clients are actually successful in deploying AI solutions, not just developing them, and then kind of getting surprised about how hard it is to scale them to actual deployment.
73
So we're in a room that has seen a lot of mainframe history.
74
You spent the bulk of your career working on mainframes.
75
What excites you about the future of mainframes?
76
We've been already developing the next generation and the generation after that.
77
We're always working on three mainframe generations at the same time.
78
So it's your job to think about what the future's going to look like and build a machine that serves it.
79
And that's exciting and a lot of fun.
80
Could you talk a little bit about some of the use cases that may have surprised you?
81
Yeah, I'll give you an example.
82
There's one client who's actually using mainframes to analyze imagery of seagrass, satellite images.
83
Like seagrass, like on the beach seagrass?
84
Yes, yeah.
85
And they see beach grass dying in certain areas, and they use that information
86
that they obtained from the AI models to then do ecological measures to protect more of the seagrass.
87
So when you start designing something, and then you see where it goes, like protecting seagrass, like how cool is that for you to see the expanse?
88
That is super exciting.
89
Like we have, when we design the hardware and the software, we have use cases in mind that we're optimizing for.
90
And then once it's in the hands of our customers, their innovation starts and how they can use all these capabilities for use cases we would have never imagined.
91
And that is one of the most fascinating parts to see how this sometimes evolves.
92
Yeah, totally.
93
So that's the future.
94
But even today, just think about it.
95
Every time you pay using a credit card, withdraw cash from an ATM, make reservations with any airline,
96
file your taxes or access your medical records or basically do a thousand other things, it's likely you are being served by a mainframe.
97
Now, imagine a day without mainframes.
98
Mainframes are without a doubt integral to enterprise IT.
99
And today, with new integrations and enhancements, they are redefining their role in modern IT.
100
So, to answer the question we started with, what makes the mainframe unique?
101
It's the hardware and the software and everything in between.
102
It's how the end -to -end stack is optimized from the Silicon App for mission -critical workloads.
103
And I think that we could both agree that that's what makes the mainframe so remarkable.
104
And that's what makes it great for AI.

Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Luyện nói qua video không chỉ giúp bạn cải thiện khả năng giao tiếp mà còn nâng cao sự tự tin khi sử dụng tiếng Anh trong những tình huống thực tế. Trong video này, chúng ta được lắng nghe một cuộc trò chuyện hấp dẫn về công nghệ mainframe và trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI). Khi tham gia luyện nghe nói qua video, bạn sẽ có cơ hội học hỏi từ ngữ điệu, cách phát âm chuẩn và ngữ cảnh thực tế mà các diễn giả sử dụng. Điều này không chỉ giúp bạn phát triển từ vựng mà còn rèn luyện khả năng phản xạ nhanh trong giao tiếp.
Cấu trúc ngữ pháp & Cách diễn đạt trong ngữ cảnh
Trong video, có một số cấu trúc ngữ pháp và cách diễn đạt nổi bật mà bạn có thể áp dụng khi luyện nói:
- “to be able to”: Cấu trúc này thường được sử dụng để diễn tả khả năng. Ví dụ: “A mainframe can handle 1 million transactions per second” (Một máy chủ chính có thể xử lý 1 triệu giao dịch mỗi giây).
- “what makes”: Đây là cách hỏi rất phổ biến trong tiếng Anh, giúp bạn tìm hiểu lý do hoặc nguyên nhân. Ví dụ: “What makes the mainframe remarkable?” (Điều gì làm cho máy chủ chính trở nên đặc biệt?).
- “it matters”: Cụm từ này dùng để nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của một vấn đề. Ví dụ: “It matters how big that slice of a second is” (Điều đó quan trọng về kích thước của một phần giây).
Những cạm bẫy phát âm thường gặp
Khi luyện phát âm tiếng Anh chuẩn, có một số từ và cụm từ trong video mà bạn nên chú ý:
- “latency”: Đây là một từ kỹ thuật có thể khó phát âm. Bạn nên luyện tập để phát âm rõ ràng âm “t” và “cy” ở cuối từ.
- “inference”: Từ này cũng có thể gây khó khăn do âm “f” và “r” khi nói nhanh. Hãy thử phát âm chậm và rõ từng âm.
- “processor”: Chú ý cách nhấn âm ở âm đầu tiên của từ. Nói rõ ràng và chậm giúp bạn duy trì phát âm chính xác hơn.
Hãy sử dụng phương pháp shadow speech khi luyện nghe nói qua video. Bằng cách lặp lại theo những gì bạn nghe được, bạn sẽ cải thiện khả năng phát âm và sự tự tin của mình trong việc giao tiếp tiếng Anh. Bạn có thể tìm kiếm các shadowing site hoặc shadowspeaks để tìm thêm tài nguyên hữu ích cho việc luyện tập của mình!
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
